My name is Jonathan Jones. I’m a 52-year-old father of eight, U.S. Army veteran (ARNG, 11B/15A), 21 years I.T. developer. I’ve spent 40+ years thinking and nine years building a cooperative commerce platform called Liana Banyan.

I’m not famous. I’m not a doctor or a Marshall Scholar. I’m just someone who wants what SHOULD be good to ACTUALLY be GOOD. And I read a lot, and I’m good at chess.

One of our sixteen initiatives is called The Tatiana Schlossburg Health Accords.

You’ve already proven the model works.

The Tatiana Schlossburg Health Accords are our prescription drug initiative. The goal is identical to yours: get people the medicine they need at prices they can afford.

The philosophy is your philosophy:

• Transparent pricing
• Cut out the middlemen
• Pass savings to patients
• Build the infrastructure to make it sustainable

You said it yourself: “Transparency is not a panacea solution to everything, but it’s certainly a prerequisite before we can get anywhere.”

That’s the foundation of everything I’ve built.

Liana Banyan is a cooperative platform in which three commercial divisions — .com, .biz, and .net — drive sustained funding for the .org charitable initiatives. All the time, by design, sustainable beyond our lifetimes because of the infrastructure we build that operates far beyond us.

The economic principle is simple: Cost + 20%. Creators keep 83.3% of every transaction. The 20% funds operations, and 100% of charitable funds go directly to the people doing the work.

The Health Accords are one of sixteen initiatives:

• Let’s Make Dinner — meal preparation and delivery
• JukeBox — music licensing where artists keep 80%+
• Defense Klaus — protection for domestic abuse survivors
• VSL — microfinance for people the banks won’t touch
• Rally Group — crisis response embedded in every interaction

Each one supports the others. The economic engine funds the charitable work. The charitable work builds community trust. The community trust drives the economic engine.

You’ve proven Cost + 15% works for drugs. I’ve designed Cost + 20% to work for everything.

I want you to be the Apothecary Mentor — the Crown of the Tatiana Schlossburg Health Accords.

Every initiative in Liana Banyan operates as a council. The Crown is the First Seat — the leader, the tie-breaker, the voice on our Steering Committee. As the council grows with workers and members, they elect their own representative to the Board of Directors. In the early days, that representative would likely be you.

What the Crown includes:

What I’d ask of you:

• Review our Health Accords architecture
• Tell me what’s wrong with it (I’d rather know now)
• Advise on scaling — you’ve done this, I haven’t
• Lend your credibility to the launch
• Be the voice that says “this is how transparent pricing should work”

You could have stayed a radiologist. You had the credentials — Hopkins, Harvard, Oxford, Duke. You could have had a comfortable career reading scans.

Instead, you saw two patients die because of red tape, and you couldn’t let it go.

You started a nonprofit. It didn’t work. You pivoted. You cold-emailed Mark Cuban with a “cold pitch” subject line. He funded the whole thing. You built a 22,000 square-foot manufacturing facility. You’re producing epinephrine and norepinephrine to address shortages. You got named to Time’s 100 Most Influential in Health.

You did all of that because you were incensed.

I need people who get incensed. I need people who see broken systems and build new ones. I need people who understand that transparency isn’t a marketing gimmick — it’s the architecture.

You’re that person.

I’ve also written to Jessica Jackley, co-founder of Kiva, for our VSL microfinance initiative. Her VSL initiative and your Health Accords share the same DNA — transparent systems that trust people and cut out the middlemen.

The whole platform is designed so the initiatives support each other. Someone who needs affordable medication might also need a microloan to cover rent. Someone starting a small business through VSL might need prescriptions to stay healthy enough to work. The system interlocks.

You wouldn’t be leading an isolated project — you’d be part of an ecosystem of hundreds that lead thousands to benefit millions. Check out the structure and connections at LianaBanyan.com/the-300.

I’ve included two documents for your review:

1. The Considered Approach — An academic paper outlining the theoretical and economic foundations of Liana Banyan. This is the “why” behind the architecture.

2. Health Accords Business Plan — The operational blueprint for the initiative you’d be leading. This is the “how.”
